fflal Racks Up No. 10. as Tigers Pound Out 8-3 Edge 8 DETROIT FREE PRESS Wednesday, June 12, 1946 dg ar Awaits THird Crack at LaMotta As of TODAY 'p Detroit Is Just Like Home 3 Hank, Dick Contribute Home Runs Yankees Find Lefty Too Tough in Clutch BY JAMES ZERILU Free Press Staff Writer By Frank Williams THE RIGHT RECIPE? to LaMotta, of the Bronx BY LYALL SMITH expose MAS MJtrimTE IN UifeDNESWS "BOUT AT (J.OFD. 5TAD.UM, 6 (JO uicc 3TE 71, 3 fT PKirtT AT JOE LOUIS' CAM? Tfl V-V rcr ''M verier i '1VT 'V CCM(WVir fflM) Hook Art-trial Middle was lJS- if rHR rW r' AXS THE HOME TOWN of Jake LaMotta is listed officially as the Bronx in New York City. But the tricky hard-hitting puncher has been fighting around Detroit so often that he's practically entitled to a vote in the coming election.

He turned professional in 1941 and didn't find his way westward until '43 when he met Jimmy Edgar in the first rematch between the two fighters at Olympia. That was on Jan. 2 and local fans plunked so much dough on the line to see him perform that he came back to town five more times the same year. In 1944 he fought only eight times. Yet five of those affairs were in Ourtown.

His fight with Edgar here Wednesday night will be bis twelfth in Detroit and as far as Jake is concerned it is just the dawn of a very beautiful rendship between LaMotta, the fighter and Detroit, the city. One reason for his popularity is that in 11 previous appearances he was defeated only once. And then by Ray (Sugar) Robinson after tattoing out a victory over the same personage 21 days earlier. City Is Kind to Jake's Bankroll THAT VICTORY FOR LaMOTTA over Robinson brought him more clippings for his scrapbook than any other fight he has been in before or after. Robinson had gone undefeated for 129 straight fights when he squared off with Jake on Feb.

5, 1943. LaMotta came out with a unanimous decision and would have won by a knockout had he thrown a left jab to Ray's head just two seconds earlier in the eighth round. He sent Robinson spinning through the ropes and Referee Sam Hennessy had run the count to nine when the bell ended the round. Sugar finished but lost the only decision that has ever been called against him. The same two fighters met three tnore times with Robinson taking the decision on each occasion, but Jake had done what no other fighter has accomplished against the wraithlike Negro.

LaMotta has carted a king-size parcel of banknotes out of town for his 11 previous appearances, but he'll top them all this time. Win or lose against Edgar, he is expected to carry close to $15,000 with him when he heads eastward again Thursday to await his next invitation for a local appearance. Baseball Experts Fooled Again WHATTA DIFFERENCE two months can make! Just before the baseball season opened, all the so-called experts were polled by the wire services to forecast the outcome of the 1946 major league races. In brief, this was the result: "St. Louis will win the National League title in a 12-game breeze while the junior circuit will be a three-way dogfight among New York, Detroit and Boston with Cleveland up close." Now the situation is completely reversed.

The National League i3 involved in a three-ply tussle among Brooklyn, St. Louis and the Cubs while Boston is making a runaway in the American. Proof of Red Sox supremacy is told by the standings, but the payoff lies in the number of games separating the leaders in each league. A span of 10 games, give or take one, joins seven of the eight teams in the National, while the same number combines only three in the American of whom the Tigers are NOT one. Many people still don't believe that the Croninmen can keep up the terrific pace they have set through the early part of the campaign.

But if they are going to crack up, the cracks aren't noticeable yet. li Lfir rm jL ML si JIL ry 20.000 Due to Attend U-D Fight Jimmy Out to Avenge Only 2 Pro Defeats THE PROGRAM Jake LaMotta, New York, vs. Jimmy Lrtigar, Detroit; 10 rounds at 160 pounds.

BY LYALL, SMITH Free Press Sports Editor Jimmy Edgar, of Detroit, will try to prove the adage about the third time being the charm when he swings into the ring against bruising Jake LaMotta, of the Bronx. The fight, 10-round headliner of the summer's first outdoor boxing card, will be staged at University of Detroit Stadium Wednesday night under the promotion of Scotty Monteith.

It will draw about 20,000 fans with the co-operation of the weatherman. EDGAR HAS fought 38 times since turning professional in 1940. He won 36 bouts, 16 by knockouts, and lost the other two in 10-round decisions to the same man he will meet under the lights. LaMotta, a brawling crowd-pleasing puncher who fought his way up from the streets of the Bronx, is making' his twelfth appearance in Detroit, scene of his most prominent fistic triumphs. It was here that Jake handed Ray (Sugar) Robinson the only defeat in his sensational career.

He also disposed of swingers like Fritzie jvic, Jose Basora, Ossie Harris, George Kochan and Charley Hayes. LaMOTTA FIRST fought Edga in New York City in 1942 and won a 10-round split decision. He next met him here early the next year and duplicated it. Now they will meet for the third time and both lighters are confident of victory. Edgar recently returned from an Army boxing junket in the company of Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, Robinson and Jackie Wilson.

Edgar has gained 12 pounds since the last time he fought LaMotta. He has also spent three weeks under the personal supervision of Louis at Pompton Lakes, N. where Joe is training for his own bout next week with Billy Conn. FIVE SUPPORTING bouts have been scheduled and all are between Detroiters except the semi-windup featuring Sandy Sadler, of New York, and Cedric Flournoy, of Detroit, in an eight-rounder. Five of the eight fighters in the other bouts are returned service men making their first local appearance since being discharged.

McMillin, by his selection, joins Bernie Bierman, of the University of Minnesota, as the only coaches ever named to head the All-Stars The genial Hoosier mentor coached the Collegiate squad which defeated the Washington Redskins, 28 to 16, in 1938. 10-Rounder Pits Williams, Ruffin NEW YORK (U.R) Ike Williams, NBA lightweight champion from Trenton, N. will meet Bobby Ruffin, of Long Island, in the feature 10-round bout which opens summer boxing at Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Wednesday night before an expected 15,000 fans.

NEW YORK You have an idea what sort of a game this was to 20,203 New York fans) when an instant after the De troit Tigers humbled the home team, to 3, the loudspeaker came up with that weepy rendition "Say It Isn't So." For the second consecutive day the Tigers really looked like World Champions and for the second day to a row, the once-feared Yanks appeared just the opposite. The i Yanks made two errors Monday and on Tuesday they made four more, including a muffed fly ball by the great Joe DiMaggio for the second straight day. THE TIGERS certainly were sharp in all phases of the game. They pounded out 12 hits, including homers by Hank Green- berg- and Dick Wakefield, and three triples and a double. Hank now leads the league in homers with 14.

In the field, the Tigers supported Harold Xewhouser faultlessly and at times brilliantly, particularly Eddie Lake at short. Newhouser struck out nine and yielded nine scattered hits as he won his tenth game against two defeats. ALL SEMBLANCES of contest disappeared when the Tigers came up with four runs in the ninth. Lake singled and was forced by Doc Cramer. Doc stole second and went to third on Catcher Constan- tine Niarhos bad throw.

Jimmy Outlaw got his third hit and drove in his third run of the game, scor ing Doc. WAKEFIELD then parked his fourth homer of the season into the right field stands. Greenberg followed with his third hit, a single. After Mullin fanned, Jimmy Bloodworth blasted a triple off the right field wall, making the score 8 to 2. New York got its third run in the ninth on singles by Niarhos Pinch Hitter Bud Souchock and Tom Henrich's fly ball.

All of the Tiger runs in the ninth were made off Jake Wade, former Bengal, who worked the last two innings. Floyd Bevens started for the Yanks and he was charged with the loss. NEW YORK took a 1-0 lead in the first on a pass to Henrich and Charley Keller's two-bagger. Detroit tied it in the fourth on a pass to Outlaw and singles by Greenberg and Mullin. Detroit went in front in the fifth when, with two out, Cra mer walked and Outlaw tripled.

The Yanks tied it in their half of the fifth on Niarhos' triple and Crosetti's single. Greenberg found the range with a home run pitch in the sixth and Detroit never was headed thereafter. Detroit picked up run No. 4 in the seventh when, with two down," Cramer tripled and Outlaw singled him in. How the Tigers simplified matters for Newhouser by coming up with a four-run spree in the ninth already has been detailed.

By What Score? BY W. W. EDGAR Free Preta Staff Writer CLEVELAND Trying to figure what will happen in the National Open became the biggest contest of the year in sports. JWJS TO MKT Hit fclAK Everywhere one went over the Canterbury Country Club's 6,926 yard layout, he was confronted with two questions: Who do you think will win? 2 What score will be needed to win the title? The answers to these questions were varied and baffling as two schools of thought developed.

THE FIRST SCHOOL clings to the thought that the 72-hole test, which will get under way Thursday morning, will be a two-man battle between Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan. The other school holds out for a "dark horse" to lead the pack late Saturday afternoon some fellow who isn't being mentioned in all the pre-tournament predictions. In the latter group are Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen. 'T don't think either Byron or Ben can make it," Hagen remarked, "and I look for a "dark-horse," some fellow like Herman Kaiser, of Akron, to come in on top." SARAZEN WASN'T settled on any particular golfer, but one could imagine from the gleam in Gene's eye that he had designs of leading the field himself. After all, he tied Lawson Little for the title here in 1940.

only to lose in a playoff by three strokes, 73 to 70. A Sarazen victory wouldn't be too surprising at that. "Gene knows this course better than any player in the field," Sam Byrd, the Plum Hollow pro, pointed out. "I don't predict that he will win, but he'll be right up there, because he has the shots for this layout." Guessing the score runs the gamut from 280, predicted by Chick Harbert, Meadowbrook pro, to a 290. Chick reiterated his prediction as he finished a par-72 practice round.

"If a 280 wins it," he said, Til have it. But if I miss I think it will take about a 282 and Nelson is my choice." HORTOX SMITH, Detroit Golf Club pro, who was in the thick of the fight six years ago, had an approximate 77 in practice Tues day morning and predicted, in spite of that, a score of 283 would win the title. While the guessing was going on Claude Harmon, former Loch-moor, pro, served notice that he wasn't to be taken lightly when he posted an approximate 68 in a practice round. This was the best round reported during the afternoon. Next to Harmon came Henry Pi card, the home pro, with an approximate 70.

The meet, suspended last year because of travel restrictions, was last held in Detroit in 1944. Balbo and Marvel Wind Up in Draw The Great Balbo and the Masked Marvel wrestled to a draw in the main event at Fairview Gardens. Bert Ruby drew with Ivan Kamikoff in the semifinal. In the preliminaries, George Mansor pinned Tiger Tasker, while the Black Panther and Wild Bill Brooks fought to a no-fall draw. first and batted third.

It was the second time since 1943 that Etten failed to start a Yankee game. Birdie Tebbetts caught Hal Newhouser because Paul Richards, his usual battery mate has been on the sidelines with a knee injury, caused when he collided with Hank Greenberg while catching a foul in Boston. "I ran into either Hank or the cement wall," Richards commented. GREENBERG lost Joe DiMag-gio's high fly in the first but Jimmy Bloodworth, running alongside of Hank, noticed his predicament and came to his rescue. Shirley Spork, nineteen-year-old co-ed, took top honors for the second time this year in the weekly Women's District Golf Association tournament.

Her eight-over-par 84 paced the large field of 89 at Pine Lake Country Club. Although the red-headed Michigan Normal sophomore Is rated one of the best golfers in the district, the victory came as a pleasant surprise to her.

N. J. (U.R) Dr. Vincent Nardiello, a physician of the New York Boxing Commission, predicted that Joe Louis would tire "more quickly than expected" in his title defense against Billy Conn. The doctor made this prediction after a thorough examination of the champion before and after his six rounds of sparring with four mates at the self -admitted "peak" of condition.

NARDIELLO, who has examined thousands of fighters for the commission during the last 14 years, exclaimed that Joe's blood pressure "went too high" for the amount of work he did in the outdoor ring this afternoon before 2,000 spectators. He said that he could not remember any previous principal in heavyweight title bout showing such an unusual increase in pressure. "I do not mean that there is anything wrong physically with Louis," he said. "I mean that his fighting condition is not as good as I had expected it to be." Jet-Propelled Boat Seeks Mark LONDON Sir Malcolm Campbell, holder of the world water speed record of 141 miles an hour, announced that he would attempt to raise this figure during the fall, using a boat powered by a jet engine. Finale DiMaggio stole at least a "two-bagger from Newhouser in the seventh with a running one-hand catch of his low liner.

The Inning before, DiMaggio muffed his second fly ball in two days, dropping Pat Mullin's simple fly. Eddie Lake threw out the entire side in the eighth, making his best play on the speedy Snuffy Stirnweiss' slow bounder.
